File-Editing Limitations

Hackers love exploiting and defacing WordPress sites, which makes security a priority for everyone using WordPress. To help make Managed WordPress accounts as hack-proof as possible, we impose strict, security-oriented limitations on which files are editable.

This feature means you can only edit the following directories and files on Managed WordPress accounts:

/wp-content

wp-config.php

.htaccess

favicon.ico

You can also edit any directories or files you upload yourself, such as a php.ini file.
